Happening
??? (BTOB) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what′s happening
애가 왜 헤프니
먼저 건든 건 너잖아

Remember what my mama said?
엄마 빼고 여잔 다 여우란다
그 명언을 한 귀로 듣고
딴 귀로 후비적 다 파버린 나

Uh 제대로 물렸어 너는 뱀 중에 꽃
군대 간 남친도 있을 것 같고
대타 같은 예감에 네 home으로 나는 run
새가 된 것 같지만 모르겠어 나는 법

꽃다운 스물다섯에
처음 물린 첫사랑이 꽃뱀일 줄

Tell me what's happening
애가 왜 헤프니
먼저 건든 건 너잖아
뭘 믿고 예쁘니 내가 속았잖니
나밖에 없다 했잖아

별이 빛나던 밤에 달이 밝던 그 밤에
그날 일은 뭐였는데 oh baby
몰라 몰라 해 놓고 여기저기 해 놓고
사라지면 난 어떡해

Remember what my daddy said?
믿을 여잔 네 엄마뿐이란다
난 그 말도 한 귀로 듣고
무작정 너만 따라다녔었지

Yeah yeah
포기 못 하겠어 솔직히 웬걸
어장인지 밀당인진 몰라도 매번
홀딱 넘어가 뭘까 썸 & 쌈
딱 하나만 골라 love & war

Oh 내 맘 슬쩍 해놓고
어딜 달아나 너 당장 나타나

Tell me what′s happening
애가 왜 헤프니
먼저 건든 건 너잖아
뭘 믿고 예쁘니 내가 속았잖니
나밖에 없다 했잖아

별이 빛나던 밤에 달이 밝던 그 밤에
그날 일은 뭐였는데 oh baby
몰라 몰라 해 놓고 여기저기 해 놓고
사라지면 난 어떡해

You made the first move on me, girl
Where did you go now?
I thought that you were only mine
Guess I was wrong, huh?

Oh baby 내게 와 열까지 셀게
열세도 안 오면 스물까지 셀게
Good boy that's gotta be a bad boy
넌 cool한 게 아냐 just bad girl
정곡을 찔렸니 like 태권
끝이 아니야 just take one

이십까지 안 오면 삼십까지 셀래
Everybody 1, 2, 3 let's go

Tell me what′s happening
뭐 그리 바쁘니
날 두고 멀리 가지 마
뭘 믿고 예쁘니 내가 속았잖니
나밖에 없다 했잖아

별이 빛나던 밤에 달이 밝던 그 밤에
그날 일은 뭐였는데 oh baby




몰라 몰라 해놓고 여기저기 해놓고
사라지면 난 어떡해

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Happening by ??? (BTOB) describe the confusion and insecurity one feels when in a romantic relationship that seems to be on-again, off-again. The singer asks their partner what is happening, why they are acting indifferent when they made the first move. They doubt their own judgment and wonder if they are being deceived. The chorus emphasizes the singer's feeling of being alone and helpless, as they sing "나밖에 없다 했잖아" (I said there's nobody else but me).


The verse "꽃다운 스물다섯에, 처음 물린 첫사랑이 꽃뱀일 줄" (At the beautiful age of 25, I didn't know that my first love, who stung me, was a flower snake) touches on the idea of hindsight; looking back on past relationships and relationships that may have been hurtful, the singer realizes that they were naive and didn't see the problems directly in front of them.


The bridge mentions the singer's parents' advice, with their father stating that the only woman they can trust is their mother, and the mother advising that all women are like foxes. These lines imply trust issues and past experiences with deceit and betrayal.

나밖에 없다 했잖아
You told me I was the only one for you

Do you recall what my mom used to tell me?


엄마 빼고 여잔 다 여우란다
Girls, except for your mom, are all like foxes


그 명언을 한 귀로 듣고 딴 귀로 후비적 다 파버린 나
I heard those words, but I didn't listen and messed up anyway


Uh 제대로 물렸어 너는 뱀 중에 꽃
You are like a flower among snakes, I was fooled by you


군대 간 남친도 있을 것 같고
You might have another boyfriend who's gone to the army

I have a strong feeling like a substitute, so I'm running away from your home

I feel like I'm newly born, but I'm not sure what to do

At twenty-five, when I was in my prime


처음 물린 첫사랑이 꽃뱀일 줄

On a shining night, under the stars and bright moon


그날 일은 뭐였는데 oh baby

Yeah yeah, I can't give up honestly, even though I know what's going on


어장인지 밀당인진 몰라도 매번 홀딱 넘어가 뭘까 썸 & 쌈
I don't know if it's fishing or playing hard to get, but every time I stumble, what is this 'something' and 'love game'


딱 하나만 골라 love & war
Choose only one: love or war


Oh 내 맘 슬쩍 해놓고 어딜 달아나 너 당장 나타나
Oh, I'll drop a subtle hint to my heart and run away to where you'll show up soon


뭐 그리 바쁘니 날 두고 멀리 가지 마
Why are you so busy? Don't leave me behind and go far away


이십까지 안 오면 삼십까지 셀래
If you don't come by twenty, I'll count to thirty


Everybody 1, 2, 3 let's go
Everybody 1, 2, 3 let's go

since when abortion should be legal? abortion is the killing of a human being. abortion should be illegal everywhere again. this kind of movies are just a lie. abortion brings traumas and pain to all the woman that perform that atrocity. abortion is a crime, u r killing your own son. stop this stupid feminist ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCEAoj8_HpE&t=166s

@moviefan it is not religion. It is science. It is common sense. Abortion is not natural.
